I really play basketball

Chapter 26
(two in one)

As John Bayless expected, in order to keep up with the popularity, NBC TV station temporarily changed the broadcast schedule.

They included the California State University Long Beach-Oregon State University game in the broadcast list.

Then, John Bayless was invited to join the commentary booth as a guest.

"So everything is ready?"

"That's right, Star, I'm just waiting for you to give a wonderful solo performance."

"Don't worry, John, it must be good enough!"

……

Time flies, and it's the day of the game.

The home stadium of the Long Beach branch, the Pyramid Stadium, is still half an hour before the start of the game——

NBC TV has already set up their broadcast equipment behind the technical station.

Two official NBC commentators, one named Tony Guy and the other named Stephen Smith.

Tony Gay was very old, he was about to retire, and Stephen Smith was a young man with a lot of drive.

For the NCAA commentary combination, the division of labor has always been clear.

The veteran Tony Gay handles the field and the always sharp Stephen Smith handles the talking points.

Young Stephen Smith kept eyeing another young man sitting between him and Tony Guy.

That's tonight's guest, John Bayless of Los Angeles local television.

The moment the camera turned around, Stephen Smith cooperated with Tony Guy to make an opening scene.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, viewers in front of the TV, welcome to NBC Sports!"

"I'm commenting on Tony Guy..."

"I'm commentating Stephen Smith..."

"Tonight, the game we are going to broadcast is an NCAA preseason game!"

"The two teams that played against each other were Cal State Long Beach and Oregon State."

"At the same time, we have also invited John Bayless, a commentator from Los Angeles Sports Station, as the guest commentator for this game. Welcome John!"

After a clichéd opening, Stephen Smith couldn't wait to get to the point.

"Ok, John, we all know, because you crazily praised Star-Lin, the main control of Long Beach in the season opener of Long Beach..."

Before he could finish his sentence, John Bayless interrupted him by raising his hand:
"Wait, Stephen, crazy hype? I don't think my optimism about Star is so-called 'crazy hype'."

Stephen Smith was interrupted and did not catch his breath. He took a breath:

"Ok, John, I just wanted to ask, what exactly is it that makes you think Stalin is worth the penny?"

"Because he's a penny-worthy genius."

After this question and answer, Stephen Smith choked again.

Why Lin Xing can stand shoulder to shoulder with Penny, because Lin Xing is a genius comparable to Penny.

Isn't this Nima nonsense?

Stephen Smith always felt that he was a rascal, but tonight, he encountered an even more rascal.

John Bayless knows that a nonsense may temporarily perfuse Stephen Smith, who has clearly stood on the opposite side.

But those penny fans in front of the TV must have been sneering:
See, he can only say that Lin Xing is comparable to Penny, and if he is asked to give a reason, he can't say anything.

This is Porcelain, that's it!definitely is!

Thinking of this, John Bayless, who paused for a moment, added:
"I think we can wait a little longer until this game starts, and you will know that what I said is true."

In a word, all the anticipation was pulled up.

The penny fans in front of the TV frantically complained: What you said is true, don’t be ridiculous, wait a little longer, what I saw must be Lin Xing’s joke!
If they want to verify their complaints, they have to sit in front of the TV and watch the game.

The neutral fans in front of the TV are already wildly imagining: What kind of genius will Lin Xing be?
He, like Penny, is a 2-meter-tall point guard, could it be...

Like Penny, he has a smart and eclectic style of play?
In short, everything can be attributed to four words: seeing is believing!
……

Soon, Long Beach came into play.

A group of people silently appeared on the court and started the warm-up before the game.

There were also cheers and screams from the sidelines, and Lin Xing finally saw some fans holding his posters and supporting him on the sidelines of the Pyramid Stadium.

Looking around, he saw Zhang Fengyuan and a group of people in the front seat opposite the technical platform.

Lin Xing waved his hand towards that position, trotted a few steps and leaned over.

Zhang Fengyuan stood up, hugged Lin Xing, and patted Lin Xing: "Okay, buddy, wearing the No. 1 jersey, make it look like you are really the main force!"

Lin Xing smiled, when you came to watch the game, didn't you look at the outer wall of the arena?
If he read it, Zhang Fengyuan would never be able to say that.

After all, Lin Xing's large poster is hanging on the outer wall of the Pyramid Stadium.

Lin Xing didn't explain, just took a picture and told Zhang Fengyuan: "Don't talk nonsense, you will know after watching the game."

"Hey, do you mean to hide the easter eggs?"

"Just wait and see!"

Needless to say, Ge Hangcheng and Xue Jian, Lao Ge and Zhang Fengyuan had the same wretched look on their faces.

Xue Jian was still taciturn. Facing Lin Xing, he forced a smile.

Afterwards, it was Zhang Fengyuan and Ge Hangcheng's so-called dragging their families.

"This is Lao Zhang's girlfriend, Lin Yin, and Lin Yin's four girlfriends."

"Four girlfriends? Where's your girlfriend, Lao Ge?"

Ge Hangcheng was stunned for a moment: "Me? I'm single and have a fart girlfriend, but..."

"But what?"

"It's developing."

Lao Ge glanced at Lin Yin's four best friends, pointing out something.

Lin Xing understood in seconds, and smiled wretchedly.

……

During the warm-up, Lin Xing had a whim and decided to make a symbolic opening.

Dwyane Wade likes to do pull-ups hanging from the rim before games;
Tim Duncan also likes to hang frames, but he only hangs frames for swinging;
LeBron James likes to throw chalk before the game to show his dominance;
Stephen Curry likes to stand at the entrance of the player channel and make a super long three-pointer;
Jokic always dances involuntarily before the game, looking very cute.

After referring to the above, Lin Xing decided to squeeze Azhan's wool.

On the court, he slapped the basketball, rushed to the basket, stepped on the floor, and jumped up before stepping into the penalty area.

Turning around in the air, his body stretched open, and with a bang, he dunked one.

"Wow! This dunk, Sparrow Food is amazing!"

In the commentary seat, Stephen Smith said half of his words, shrugged,

"Just looking at this dunk, Stalin is really a genius, but not a genius of traditional basketball, but a genius of Harlem basketball!"

The Harlem basketball team is a real basketball show team, with all the bells and whistles.

It would be a real insult if a star player in traditional basketball was called a Harlem basketball player.

Just listening to the first half of the sentence, John Bayless even thought that Stephen Smith had changed his position.

Hearing the complaint in the second half of the sentence, Bayless frowned, but his eyes lit up deep in his heart.

He originally thought that Stephen Smith was a normal venomous snake commentator, but he didn't expect that he was also an outspoken commentator like him.

If this is the case, the commentary seat of this game has something to sing!
Just as Stephen Smith was laughing, Lin Xing rushed to the technical stage after dunking.

He rushed very fast, and after his huge body quickly approached, Stephen Smith was taken aback. He almost thought that Lin Xing heard his extreme complaints about Lin Xing and wanted to trouble him.

As a result, Lin Xing, who rushed to the technical stage, just grabbed a handful of chalk.

Holding the chalk, Lin Xing threw the chalk out of his hand with a domineering posture and expression.

Stephen Smith in the commentary didn't think much of it either, but some 49ers fans in the Pyramid Stadium immediately went crazy.

They screamed and chanted—

"Tyrant! Tyrant! Tyrant!"

"Tyrant! Tyrant! Tyrant!"

"..."

In the commentary seat, Stephen Smith was stunned: "Tyrant?"

John Bayless nodded with a smile: "That's right, that's Stalin's nickname."

"No wonder his name is Stalin..."

Hearing this nickname, Stephen Smith realized something, he suddenly felt:
Perhaps the result of this game will not satisfy those penny fans in front of the TV, those basketball players including him who have been laughing at Lin Xing and John Bayless.

The ones who were more completely stunned were Zhang Fengyuan and Ge Hangcheng, who were completely stunned——

The entire Pyramid Stadium shouted in unison, and there were screams from time to time in the corners.

The names called by this group of fans are always inseparable from their compatriot Lin Xing.

"What do you mean?"

"Xiaolin can't really be the main force, can he?"

Whether it's Lao Zhang or Lao Ge, they all have the expression that you're riding a horse and teasing me at the moment.

But soon, the referee held the basketball and stood in the middle of the court.

The starters from Long Beach and Oregon State came on the stage, and Lin Xing also stood in the center of the court.

No matter how much Lao Zhan and Lao Ge refused to recognize each other, they could only open their mouths and make an unbelievable voice: "It's really..."

Chris Tavor vs. Scott Haskin's jump ball matchup, in terms of height, the gap between the two is actually not that big.

One is 2 meters and the other is 08 meters. Both are white center forwards.

The difference is that Scott Haskin can jump.

So, for the second home game of the new season, Long Beach started the game defensively.

"The game is on, Scott Haskins wins the jump ball, and it's Oregon State's shot time."

In the opening game, Long Beach's defense was a simple matchup defense. Lin Xing's opponent was Charles McKinney, the master of Oregon State.

McKinney's height is about 1 meters, his muscles are very thick, and he is a small steel cannon.

Lin Xing knew him before the game and knew that his style and characteristics were similar to Mario Chalmers in the future NBA.

A role player who cannot be changed into a role, Lin Xing did not focus on him in defense.

McKinney obviously knew Lin Xing too. Facing Lin Xing, who was taller than him, about as strong as him, and had an outstanding defense in the video of the first two games, McKinney only wanted to be a dribbling guard.

He dribbled the ball upfield and it was off to Brent Barry.

Brent Barry, the NBA slam dunk champion in 96, is a representative of white people who can fly.

At this time, he is not the core in the Oregon State team, the core is the two big men on the inside.

However, most of Oregon State's offenses were launched from his side.

The NCAA has high requirements for tactics. Basically every NCAA team will have a systematic style of play.

For example, the famous NCAA coach John Calipari, who has just started his coaching career at this time and is leading the University of Massachusetts to become a dark horse, uses the famous DDM tactical system.

Another example is the Long Beach branch. Their tactical system is a simple breakthrough system.

The offensive system of Oregon State University is that Brent Barry deals the cards at the top of the arc, and Chad Scott, who has a precise three-pointer, and Scott Haskin, who is a top inside offensive player, are separated from both sides.

At this time, whoever Brent Barry can give the ball to will stand up and end this round of offense.

But in the opening game, UC Long Beach stared at Haskin and Scott.

Barry controlled the ball head-on for a few seconds, but couldn't find a chance to pass the ball.

After hesitating for a moment, facing Lucios, he suddenly jumped up, and with an explosive sprint, he directly threw away the defenseless Lucios.

Three steps and two steps in parallel, he went straight to the basket, jumped up, and made a heavy dunk!
Bang!

The entire Pyramid Stadium was shocked, and Stephen Smith in the commentary seat even shouted:

"OhhhhMyGod! Brent Barry, that kick-off dunk is amazing!"

"What is a genius, this is a genius!"

"John, do you think Brent Barry is talented enough?"

A question was thrown to John Bayless, and Bayless frowned. Of course he heard what Stephen Smith meant.

Bayless "blasted" Lin Xing, and now Stephen Smith is doing his own thing, bullshitting Brent Barry.

Watching Stephen Smith's clown-like performance, Bayless just wanted to shake his head.

"Let's have a look again, Stephen, it's too early to draw conclusions."

"Okay, let's look at the Long Beach offense!"

A dunk by Brent Barry gave Oregon State a 2-0 lead.

Long Beach could only kick off in the backcourt, Lin Xing controlled the ball and dribbled across the half.

Not surprisingly, it was not McKinney who came up to the point defense.

It was Mustafa Hofer, who was slightly taller than Lin Xing and known for his single defense.

Seeing Oregon State's defense change, Bayless in the commentary was happy instead.

Because of this, the fans of Penny and the group of bricks who have been talking sourly can't find any reason that "Lin Xing only uses his body to bully the opponent's short point guard".

Looking at the strong Hofer, Lin Xing didn't hesitate at all.

He slapped two cross steps directly on the spot, and made a sudden change of direction to sprint, shaking Hofer away.

Known for single defense?In the face of Lin Xing's extremely fast first step, it was useless.

"A cross step, Stalin passed Mustafa Hofer directly, and he rushed in!"

"It's not a big problem, Oregon State has Scott Haskin's frame protection..."

Stephen Smith's commentary has fully exposed his side attributes. Under the basket, the Haskin he was looking forward to did leap forward to meet Lin Xing.

As a result, Lin Xing directly passed Haskin, facing the basket, and made a heavy dunk.

Bang!

The sound of the rim being abused was louder than in the previous round.

As a guest, John Bayless directly blew:

"Look at this heavy dunk after the cross step, it's amazing!"

He only blew a word, and he stopped.

Stephen Smith was a little surprised, he didn't know that Bayless was still waiting.

Bayless is very clear that this dunk is not yet conclusive, because Brent Barry also dunked one in the opening game.

Lin Xing's buckle was just a buckle back.

Bayless is not in a hurry, he knows that the game is just one ball after another.

At the end of the fight, you will definitely know who won.

On the court, Oregon State's offense.

Seeing McKinney dribble in the backcourt, Lin Xing felt that it was really overkill for him to defend McKinney.

In this match, Lin Xing only wanted a crush.

So, without any hesitation, he directly pulled Lucios and switched defenses.

When the defense was switched to Barry, Oregon State's style of play remained unchanged. The two inside lanes were still opened and the ball was dealt to Barry.

As a result, the two star insiders of Oregon State University still didn't get a chance for this ball.

Barry wanted to attack again, but he ran into Lin Xing.

"Brent Barry, a crossover, is he going to play an Answer-Ball?"

Stephen Smith was very excited, but in the next second, he was splashed with cold water.

Barry, who wanted to wipe Lin Xing directly with a cross step, took a quick step, and Lin Xing quickly took out the basketball.

"It's broken! It's broken, it's broken, it's broken!"

And it had to be John Bayless, repeated excitedly.

Lin Xing on the court has already controlled the basketball and completely completed the steal.

Single-handedly, he rushed straight to the frontcourt and launched a wave of counterattacks.

On the other side, McKinney, who was no longer facing Lin Xing, reacted, and he retreated quickly, not slowly.

Soon, McKinney stood in front of Lin Xing...

Lin Xing completely ignored McKinney. He rushed to the frontcourt, strode forward, held the basketball high with one hand, and was out of luck.

With three steps and one step, he leaped high, directly passed McKinney, and dunked the ball into the basket with ease and ease!

"Set fire to the sky, this buckle is too easy!"

It's still a word of flattery, and Bayless can't stop talking.

On the court, Oregon State had no choice but to kick off from the backcourt and organize the offense.

The score has become 4 to 2, and Oregon State, which led the opening game, is now behind.

However, in the subsequent attack, Oregon State University quickly proved with actions why they are not a belly in the eyes of the public.

Brent Barry finally got his chance and drove the ball to the basket.

Haskin, who received the ball, really lived up to the name of the top five centers in the NCAA this season. His skillful footwork at the basket played with Tavor and easily sent the ball into the basket.

With a 4-4 tie, the two teams returned to the same starting line.

But then, it was Long Beach's turn to attack.

Seeing Lin Xing holding the ball at the top of the arc, Stephen Smith was already nervous.

"Don't perform any more, perform again, how can you explain this game?"

In front of the TV, Penny's fans also thought: If they continue to perform like this, they will have to turn off the TV.

As a result, Lin Xing lived up to expectations.

Tavor stepped up and made an axis, and Lin Xing directly circled the axis, throwing away Mustafa Hofer with a stride.

He sprints to the basket at high speed, his eyes devouring.

Under the basket, Haskin jumped up under Stephen Smith's hopeful eyes.

The two bodies were in contact or even collided, but Lin Xing leaned against Haskin, hooked his arms in a backward posture, and pressed the ball heavily into the basket!
Bang!

After the sound of heavy frame abuse, there was a bang, and the entire Pyramid Gymnasium roared frantically.

"Too hot, too explosive, too explosive, this is Stalin, this is what John Bayless calls genius!"

"Three dunks in a row in the opening game, a one-handed two-handed split dunk, a fire-fired dunk, and this back-and-forth dunk..."

"He's not a genius, who is?"

At this point, just three buckles are enough for John Bellesto to die.

Stephen Smith was speechless, and Tony Gay could only start his field control.

But off the field, some penny fans who don't know how many have turned off the TV.
